http://simplecookingnyc.blogspot.com/2013/11/marthas-rum-bundt-cake.html
Simple Cooking in a Complex City. Tuesday, November 26, 2013. Martha's Rum Bundt Cake. Last weekend I met Martha Stewart! I went to a book signing and there she was in all of her beautiful glory (perfect hair, perfect voice, not so perfect shoe and sock combo) and we had her rum cake from her new book, Cakes. I left with 4 books signed for holiday presents and a new recipe. Here goes! I changed a few things to make a full bundt cake instead of mini ones because only Martha has mini bundt cake pans. Let r...

Simple Cooking in a Complex City. Thursday, January 2, 2014. Amazing Low- Fat Cream of Broccoli Soup. I was craving some good cream of broccoli soup and came across a low- fat recipe. Of course, I was very skeptical because anything low fat that involves cream usually is awful. This recipe however, left me and C licking our bowls. Instead of heavy cream, use half of a can of fat-free evaporated milk- same silky taste, less calories! Sprinkle with gruyere or swiss to add a cheesy touch. Serves 6. Chinese ...

Simple Cooking in a Complex City: Mexican Quinoa Casserole
http://simplecookingnyc.blogspot.com/2013/10/mexican-quinoa-casserole.html
Simple Cooking in a Complex City. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. To feed my Mexican food obsession without eating all of my calories for the day in one meal, I started making this dish. I jazzed up a dip recipe and pumped it full of quinoa. It's full of fiber, flavor, and will fill you up for hours. My favorite part was making the homemade refried black beans. Who knew they could be so simple? 2 cups vegetable broth. 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed. 2 green onions, diced.

Simple Cooking in a Complex City. Saturday, February 23, 2013. Saturday Morning Chocolate Chip and Strawberry Pancakes with Almond Milk. This was my first time making pancakes without using a box mix, I was very worried about how they would turn out, but my critic and I agreed that they were quite yummy! I decided to use almond milk instead of regular milk, which didn't seem to change the taste or consistency. Pair these colorful flapjacks with a good Vermont Maple syrup. Enjoy! 2 tbsp good butter*.

Simple Cooking in a Complex City. Sunday, March 31, 2013. Chocolate Lavender Honey Tart. I have been making a lot of sweets recently and today I dared to try a chocolate pie-like dessert for an Easter dinner with friends. My dad always makes an awesome flour-less chocolate cake for Passover and I wanted to make something similar, but with more crunch. The hint of lavender along with a chocolate honey crust made for a new and tasty treat. Happy Easter and Passover to everyone! Makes 12 super rich slices.
